  • Nerikomi

    Nerikomi is a decorative process established in Japan that involves stacking colored clay and then slicing through the cross section to reveal a pattern. Nerikomi designs provide a wonderful way to work three dimensionally with patterns and images, or they can become the walls to hand built pots.

    During this workshop, Tina Burk will guide you in creating a unique pattern and then applying it to a masterpiece.

    Firing Fees included.

    $150 per artist- Members receive a $25 discount
